SASSA has blamed the Department of Home Affairs for a "blunder" which led to dead beneficiaries being paid out 75,000 times, amounting to R140 million in losses.

The National Prosecuting Authority confirmed that over 1,000 charges will be levelled against SASSA officials arrested for the theft of R265 million from the agency.

Members of Parliament have welcomed the arrest of SASSA officials allegedly involved in R265 million fraud, but South Africans aren't celebrating the news.

South Africans sympathised with a SASSA beneficiary who was scammed twice after retiring the old gold card for the new SASSA and Postbank black card.
